State Manager

Company Description
**Are you ready to be a big part of something big?**

When it comes to your career, we want to provide big opportunities to help you make a big impact. But for this to be possible, we strive to feel small. Small enough to quickly change tack, small enough to learn from different departments and small enough to connect authentically with leadership.

Not something you’d expect from one of the country’s biggest tech companies, is it?

This is your opportunity to join carsales as the Queensland State Manager for Auto. In this role, you will drive the state plan and manage a team of Digital Account Managers to maximise profitable revenue. You be responsible for strategically developing the carsales (auto) engagement and brand presence in the local marketplace, which will be achieved by developing, building and strengthening key customer relationships.

- The support of a highly engaged, high-performing team including a leadership team that you’ll actually have face time with.
- 18 weeks paid parental leave for primary caregivers, four weeks paid secondary caregivers leave, six weeks paid gender affirming care leave.

**What we are looking for**

- Industry experience in auto, dealerships, and/or digital, media & advertising.
- A hands-on people manager who is capable of managing and motivating teams to achieve their goals and take their business to the next level.
